WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Citywide Concrete Repair Program - Annual This is an on-going cost-shared program with Public Works - Street Maintenance for improvements to the City's curbs, gutters and cross-pans, handicap ramps, and miscellaneous concrete repairs to facilitate drainage in the streets and to address critical safety hazards. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Areas selected for repair are typically in advance of street paving that is scheduled for the following year. Improvements to deteriorated portions of curbs and gutters help to direct storm drainage to the nearest storm drain intake. Cost-sharing with Street Maintenance funding improves the amount that can be done. Additionally, this program focuses on specific areas with the highest needs thereby ensuring better bids and more efficient allocation of funds and staffing resources. Page | 3 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP General Storm Drainage Capital Improvement Program - Annual This is an annual on-going program to complete multiple projects to address flooding and other storm water management issues City-wide. Examples of projects include extending existing storm sewers, replacing corroded storm pipes, constructing storm drains and open channels, and constructing interceptor lines where needed. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Storm drainage improvements constructed in this program help to reduce localized flooding problems, as well as reduces impacts on maintenance staff, time, and equipment in responding repeatedly to the same location. Example: Page | 4 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Storm Project Development - Annual This provides “seed money” for project development work and tasks related to storm drainage projects in the 6-year Capital Improvement Program that are budged in a future fiscal year, but for which scoping analysis is needed now. This work includes engineering studies, utility locates & dig-ups, environmental, professional services, etc. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This allows issues to be investigated prior to design in order to improve the formal design process of future-funded storm drainage projects. Page | 5 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Storm Drainage Master Plan Implementation - Annual This provides annual funding for planning and feasibility studies to refine future storm drainage capital improvement projects identified in the City’s Storm Drainage Master Plan. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This provides funding to respond to storm drainage investigations not anticipated during the annual budget cycle so that projects can continue to be developed.

WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP 33rd Street Outfall This project is to improve the drainage conditions in Storm Drainage Basins 0062-01 & 4500-02 during a 5 year storm event. The Five Points, Whittier, and City Park West Neighborhoods are situated in these drainage basins. The storm drain construction starts at the South Platte River progressing uphill in 33rd Street, crossing the Downing Street intersection and continuing upstream in Martin Luther King Boulevard from Downing Street to Lafayette Street. Benefits/ Avoided Losses: This will address significant flooding locations at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Marion Street where 2-dimensional flood modeling indicates flood depth of up to three (3) feet deep in a 100-year storm event shown on the subsequent map in orange. In addition, a lateral system will be constructed in Blake Street from 31st Street to 33rd Street in order to reduce flood risk at 31st and Blake, where numerous condominiums flooded on August 8, 2008 and July 11, 2011. The system would collect storm runoff from the existing storm drain in Downing Street and provide the ability to extend the improved storm drainage system upstream into the Whittier Neighborhood via the future “Marion Street System” to address significant flooding at E 31st Avenue and Marion Street and reduce flood risk in the Five Points and Whittier Neighborhoods between Martin Luther King Boulevard and E 21st Street. Page | 8 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Glenbrook Detention Basin This project is to increase storm water detention and water quality and reduce flood risk to adjacent residential properties located on the northern project boundary from flooding. One home was flooded April 11, 2005 when snowmelt from a significant storm spilled out of the existing detention basin. The project is situated in the Marston Neighborhood in southwest Denver. The project will preserve the existing wetlands in the existing detention basin and provide improved stormwater detention in the City-owned natural area adjacent to the Garrison/Union Park. Upon completion, this project will provide a stormwater detention and water quality pond, underground storm sewer facilities, landscape, and irrigation facilities. In addition, a new concrete trail system will be constructed to connect the existing trail system to the neighborhood and the Garrison/Union Park. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Provide a 100-year level of flood protection to adjacent properties thereby improving public safety, improve storm water quality treatment, preserve existing wetlands, and disconnect urban storm runoff from entering the Bowles Lateral Irrigation Ditch, which is located adjacent to the existing detention basin. The new storm drain in S. Garrison Street constructed with this project will intercept and collect storm runoff from south of Bowles Lateral Irrigation Ditch, further reducing storm runoff that currently can enter the irrigation ditch; thereby improving water quality and reducing liability. Page | 9 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP East Yale Avenue Storm, Phase 1 The goal of this project is to mitigate flooding that occurs frequently at the sump in S. Glencoe Street, south of E Yale Avenue which has been identified as a Significant Flooding Location in the City’s Storm Drainage Master Plan. Phase 1 (low point in Glencoe St. to Dahlia St.) will provide approximately a 10‐year storm drain system that will significantly improve the drainage conditions in the sump, or low area, during the smaller and more frequent storm events. The phase 1 improvements will not provide a 100-year storm system due to physical limitations in the E. Yale Avenue corridor. This project is located in the eastern part of the University Hills Neighborhood in southeast Denver. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Repetitive flooding has been reported at 2765 S Glencoe, 2752 S Glencoe, and adjacent properties. Flooding was reported on June 3, 2005 at 2752 S Glencoe in the Denver Post. Subsequent storms on May 14, 2007; May 28, 2007; July 4, 2007; July 3, 2009; July 14, 2011 and July 14, 2014 also produced flooding, some damaging. On July 3, 2009, 3 cars were flooded in the street and floodwater reached 3 attached garages and the threshold of 2765 S Glencoe Street. The July 14, 2011 storm flooded one car and left a debris line 12” up on the garage door at 2765 S Glencoe. The project improves public safety and contains flooding in the residential area during a major storm by providing an additional temporary outfall system. The existing overhead utility lines on south side of E. Yale Ave. will be converted to underground system prior to construction of this project. Page | 10 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP E 16th Avenue Street System, Phase 1 The “E. 16th Avenue Street System-Phase 1” is the first phase in a multi-phase/multi-year effort to extend and improve the storm drain upstream in the watershed. It will address numerous flooding issues in the watershed, and capitalize on prior drainage improvements at Ferril Lake (2007-2008) and “Montclair-Phase 2” storm drain (2011). The first phase would start in the City Park Neighborhood at 16th & Jackson, connecting to the “Montclair-Phase 2” storm drain and continuing eastward as far as funding allows. Ultimately, per the 2014 Master Plan, the goal for this phase will be to reach approximately 16th & Albion Street in the South Park Hill Neighborhood, as shown in the map below. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Currently, the “Montclair-Phase 2” project does not carry all the runoff that was originally intended in design since the upstream drainage system improvements are not yet “built-out”. This project will utilize available capacity in the “Montclair-Phase 2” storm drainage project by increasing inlet and storm sewer capacity and reducing the flood risk along the Potential Inundation Areas identified in the City’s 2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan along E. Batavia Place, east of Colorado Boulevard. Flooding was reported in the South Park Hill Neighborhood at 1666 N. Albion and 1632 N Clermont (including the alley and back yard) in the July 7, 2011 and June 24, 2014 storms. This project and its future phases continues the City’s commitment to improving the storm drainage system in the South Park Hill Neighborhood and further up in the watershed in order to address repetitive significant flooding upstream in the Montclair Neighborhood at E. 14th Avenue from Jasmine to Kearney and surrounding properties, as well as the 1100 blocks of Locust and Leyden. Dates of reported flooding: July 20, 2009, July 11, 2011, September 12, 2013, and June 24, 2015. These significant flooding locations would ultimately be addressed with the E 16th Avenue Storm System- Phase 2 improvements and the Glencoe Street System identified in the 2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan. Page | 11 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP E 16th Avenue System, Phase 2 The “E. 16th Avenue Street System-Phase 2” storm drain project further extends and improves the storm drain system upstream in the South Park Hill Neighborhood in order to address numerous flooding issues in the watershed, and further capitalize on storm drainage improvements at Ferril Lake (2007- 2008), “Montclair-Phase 2” (2011) and “E. 16th Avenue-Phase 1” (2017-2018). The “E. 16th Avenue- Phase 2” storm drain would start where Phase 1 ends at approximately 16th & Albion Street and continue upstream to E. 16th Avenue & N. Glencoe St. It would include a lateral drain in E Colfax Avenue from Dahlia to Fairfax. Benefits/Avoided Losses: The “Montclair-Phase 2” project and “E. 16th Avenue System-Phase 1” storm drains do not collect all the runoff originally intended in their design since the upstream drainage system improvements are not yet “built-out”. The “E. 16th Avenue-Phase 2” storm drain will utilize available capacity in the “Montclair- Phase 2” and “E. 16th Avenue System-Phase 1” storm drainage projects by increasing inlet and storm sewer capacity. It will reduce the flood risk along the thalweg and major Potential Inundation Areas identified in the City’s Storm Drainage Master Plan along E. Batavia Place from Colorado Boulevard to N. Dahlia Street and E. 16th Avenue from N. Dahlia Street to N. Glencoe Street. Flooding was reported in the South Park Hill Neighborhood at 1666 N. Albion and 1632 N. Clermont (including the alley and back yard) in the July 7, 2011 storm and the June 24, 2015 storm. This project, and the future Glencoe Street System, continues the City’s commitment to improving the storm drainage system further up in the watershed in order to address repetitive significant flooding upstream in the Montclair Neighborhood where repetitive flooding occurs at E. 14th Avenue from Jasmine to Kearney and surrounding properties, as well as the 1100 blocks of Locust and Leyden. Dates: July 20, 2009, July 11, 2011, September 12, 2013, and June 24, 2015. Page | 12 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP 27th Street Interceptor-Phase 1 Construction of this project would maximize the use of the existing 108” diameter storm drain in the Coors Field Parking Lot. Currently the tributary drainage area to the existing pipe is only 88 acres. The new interceptor would start at the existing drain, extending upstream in 27th Street to approximately Welton Street. Benefits/Avoided Losses: The project would capitalize on the investment made in constructing the 108” diameter storm drain in the Coors Field parking lot in order to maximize the delivery of storm runoff. In doing so, existing storm drainage systems in the area between 27th and 33rd Streets from Blake to Welton Street would able to capture more runoff, consistent with the City’s preferred level of service in that area. The new storm drain would improve drainage in the Five Points Neighborhood and reduce the flood risk at the 27th Street / Welton Street / Washington Street intersection near the Rossonian Hotel (2650 Welton), identified as a Significant Flooding Location in the Storm Drainage Master Plan. This project also provides the ability to extend the storm drainage system upstream to address other Significant Flooding Locations in the Five Points Neighborhood at 2500 Walnut (at Broadway) and another extension south in Washington and Clarkson to reach several other Significant Flooding Locations in the North Capitol Hill Neighborhood between 17th and 19th Avenues / Pearl to Clarkson Streets.

WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Lakewood Gulch-Sheridan Phase 2, Construction The Lakewood Gulch - Sheridan project is a partnership between the City and County of Denver and the Urban Drainage & Flood Control District between Wolff Street and Sheridan Boulevard on the border between the Villa Park and West Colfax neighborhoods. The project will include improvements to Lakewood Gulch to reduce the extent of the 100-year flood plain, extend the existing multi-use recreation trail, and improve public safety. Along with this project, there will be substantial amount of land purchases which will be necessary for construction and maintenance of the gulch. One of these properties to be purchased, a commercial building, will need to be demolished. Benefits/Avoided Losses: The benefits of the project included removing residential structures from the 100-year floodplain, improving public safety, improving recreational opportunities along gulch, and improving habitat. Page | 14 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Jackson Street System This project connects to the “Montclair-Phase 2” 14’ wide x 7’ high concrete box storm drain at Colfax and Jackson Street constructed in 2011 to capitalize on the investment of stormwater detention created at Ferril Lake in 2007-2008. The “Jackson Street System” extends these storm drain improvements from East Colfax & Jackson going south/upstream in the Congress Park Neighborhood, crossing Colorado Boulevard, to E. 12th Avenue & N. Albion Street in the Hale Neighborhood. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This project will utilize available capacity in the “Montclair-Phase 2” storm drainage project by increasing inlet and storm sewer capacity and will reduce the flood risk and Potential Inundation Areas identified in the City’s 2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan in this area. Currently, the “Montclair-Phase 2” project does not carry all the runoff that was originally intended in design since the drainage system improvements are not yet “built-out”. It also continues the City’s commitment to improving the storm drainage system in this watershed in order to address repetitive significant flooding upstream in the Hale and Montclair Neighborhoods via the proposed “Hale Parkway System” and the “8th Avenue System” identified in the 2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan. These future projects would reduce the 100-year Potential Inundation Area mapped along Hale Parkway and reduce the flood risk of numerous properties at E Severn Place at Jersey and Jasmine Streets which experienced significant repetitive flooding on August 8, 2008, July 20, 2009, July 11, 2011, and June 24, 2015. Page | 15 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Marion Street System, Phase 1 This storm drain starts at the upstream end of the currently funded 33rd Street Outfall storm drain. The Phase 1 extension includes a new approximately 8-1/2 foot diameter storm pipe in Marion Street from Martin Luther King Boulevard, south in Marion Street to E 29th Avenue in the Whittier Neighborhood. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Work on this project should begin at the end of the 33rd Street Outfall storm drain and extend upward to improve the level of drainage service in the basin to address significant flooding reported at E 31st Avenue & Marion Street on August 13, 2006, and reduce flood risks identified in the Whittier and Five Points Neighborhoods. Importantly, this provides the necessary improvements to continue to improve the storm drain system in future phases and years in order to address additional repetitive significant flooding in the City Park West Neighborhood including condominiums at E 17th Avenue & Lafayette, E 17th Avenue & Franklin, E 16th & Williams, and E Colfax Avenue at Williams & High Streets. Page | 16 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP Oneida & Tennessee to Cherry Creek, Phase 1 This project includes a box culvert outfall starting at Cherry Creek and extending upstream into the basin in E. Tennessee Street to the sump area at Oneida Street in order to provide 100-year flood protection at the sump at S Oneida & E Tennessee and includes a new 48-inch lateral in S. Oneida Street. The total project cost is roughly $12M. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Felsburg Holt & Ullevig prepared the February 9, 2011 Tennessee & Oneida Storm Drainage Alternatives Study. In the report, an 84-inch outfall, following E. Tennessee Avenue, is the shortest and the most cost effective alternative. It would alleviate repetitive flooding in the sump at S Oneida & E Tennessee (2002, 8-8-2008, 6-25-2009), as well as flooding issues at 1000 S Monaco Street Parkway. Page | 17 Revised : 2016-06-21

Funding represents the City’s share of the Study which would be managed by the UDFCD. The study would correct a technical error found in the 1977 MDP, evaluate water quality and sedimentation in Sloan’s Lake, and re-evaluate the current flood hazard area in northwest Denver from Sloan’s Lake to the South Platte River, including impacts at Colfax & Federal and the Mile High Stadium parking lot. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This provides up-to-date estimated 100-year flood flow rates and identifies alternative solutions to reduce flood risk and improve water quality using updated technologies and improvements. This will improve water quality entering Sloan’s Lake from the west and better identify flood risks downstream of Sloan’s Lake. Projects identified in the updated plan are eligible for cost-sharing between the UDFCD and the City. Page | 19 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD Study: Lakewood Gulch MDP and FHAD This is to update the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) and City’s 1979 Major Drainageway Planning for Lakewood Gulch. Funding represents the City’s share of the Study, which would be managed by the UDFCD. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This provides up-to-date estimated 100-year flood flow rates and identifies alternative solutions to reduce flood risk and improve water quality using updated technologies and improvements. Areas of particular concern include significant flooding locations at the Knox Ct culvert crossing and the Perry culvert/bridge crossing along the gulch. Additionally, the project will focus on removing structures from within the 100-year floodplain. Projects identified in the updated plan are eligible for cost-sharing between the UDFCD and the City. Page | 20 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD Study: Goldsmith Gulch MDP and FHAD Update This is to update the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) 1977 Goldsmith Gulch Major Drainageway Plan (MDP) and Flood Hazard Area Delineation (FHAD) mapping. Funding represents the City’s share of the Study which would be managed by the UDFCD. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This provides up-to-date estimated 100-year flood flow rates and identifies alternative solutions to reduce flood risk and improve water quality using updated technologies and improvements. Areas of particular concern include the underground portion of Goldsmith Gulch beneath the Tiffany Plaza parking area south of Hampden Avenue; improving function of the Iliff & Monaco Detention pond; removing properties in the 100-year floodplain between E Iliff Avenue and E Evans Avenue, including the low area in S Monaco Street Parkway south of E Evans Avenue; and the 100-year floodplain running down S Monaco Street Parkway. Projects identified in the updated plan are eligible for cost-sharing between the UDFCD and the City. Page | 21 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD Study: Irondale Gulch OSP update This is to update the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) 1990 Irondale Gulch Stormwater outfall Systems Plan (OSP) in a cost-share partnership between the UDFCD, City of Aurora, and the City and County of Denver. The previous study noted that “the Montbello area currently suffers from a lack of adequate capacity for major floods. The existing channels have the capacity of around the 5- to 10-year flood.” Benefits/Avoided Losses: This provides up-to-date estimated 100-year flood flow rates and identifies alternative solutions to reduce flood risk and improve water quality using updated technologies and improvements Projects identified in the updated plan are eligible for cost-sharing between the UDFCD and the City. Page | 22 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD Study: Sand Creek (downstream of Colfax) MDP & FHAD In 2012, the UDFCD completed a Major Drainageway Plan (MDP) and Flood Hazard Area Delineation FHAD) for Sand Creek from E Yale Avenue to E Colfax Avenue. This is to extend that study from Colfax to the South Platte River in a cost-share partnership between the UDFCD and the City and County of Denver with possible contributions from the Cities of Aurora and Commerce City. Benefits/Avoided Losses: The September 2013 storms produced flood damages along Sand Creek within Denver and Commerce City. This provides up-to-date estimated 100-year flood flow rates and identifies alternative solutions to reduce flood risk and improve water quality using updated technologies and improvements. The majority of the City Jail at Smith Road and Havana is in the floodplain. There are also erosion concerns along the creek and possible property and critical infrastructure impacts. Projects identified in the updated plan are eligible for cost-sharing between the UDFCD and the City. Page | 23 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD Study Local Match This is place-holder funding for cost-sharing on future studies with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District that are of benefit to the City and County of Denver. The UDFCD Planning budget looks at the next 4 years, whereas the City’s Storm Capital Improvement Program budget has a 6-year time horizon. Benefits/Avoided Losses: This it to ensure that the City’s share (maximum $100,000) for UDFCD studies beyond the 4-year budget cycle of the UDFCD is included in the fiscally-constrained cash-flow model. The City share does not exceed $100,000 in any given year. Including this in the cash-flow model ensures continued collaboration with the UDFCD on planning studies which evaluate the adequacy of major streams and gulches within the City and recommend improvements, if needed.

WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD CIP: Cherry Creek Stabilization-Holly to Iliff This is an ongoing cost-shared project between the City and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) to improve streambed stability to Cherry Creek by the UDFCD. The UDFCD is moving quickly to address stabilization measures (drop structures and stream-bank protection) in the Holly to Iliff segment. Total project cost is estimated to be $12.1 million for the Cherry Creek stabilization measures. Of this total, $10.6 million is within the jurisdiction of the City & County of Denver, and $1.5 million is within the jurisdiction of Arapahoe County. The Capital Improvement Project budget is for the City of Denver share over multiple years. Benefits/Avoided Losses: In some areas, the streambed has dropped 10 feet, creating an unstable streambed and stream banks, a safety risk for users of the corridor, and the near-loss of the Cherry Creek Bike Trail, the most heavily used bike trail in the City. It will improve accessibility to the Creek, habitat along the creek and also improve water quality by reducing erosion and downstream deposition. Page | 25 Revised : 2016-06-21
WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP UDFCD CIP: Bowles Ditch Separation This project is a cost-shared project with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District recommended in the May 2012 Marston Lake North Major Drainageway Plan located in the Marston Neighborhood in Southwest Denver. The purpose of the project is to eliminate storm water from areas south of the Bowles Lateral irrigation ditch owned by the Joseph W. Bowles Reservoir Company. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Eliminate storm runoff from entering the private irrigation ditch, improve water quality, reduce liability, and improve safety. Page | 26 Revised : 2016-06-21

WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP USACE Study/Design: CAP Program-River South The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Denver have committed to partner in a study of the South Platte River between Dartmouth and Alameda (River South - RISO) to identify ecosystem, habitat and floodplain benefits along this corridor. The design is anticipated to cost $1M-$2M at a 50/50 match. Identified projects would be eligible for federal funding through the Corps' Section 1135 Continuing Authorities Program (CAP). CAP projects have a 65/35 match (federal/local) up to a total project amount of $12M. A federal interest review is tentatively scheduled for 2015 with the year-long study to follow immediately after in 2016. Pending proper federal authorities, a one to two year design for one of the identified reaches would commence circa 2017, followed by construction in 2019-2020. Benefits/Avoided Losses: Potential benefits include continued improvement of the South Platte River's southern corridor where $25M-plus has already been invested by the city and others since 2007. An improved ecosystem and habitat benefit, flood risk reduction, recreation, connectivity and water quality. Page | 29 Revised : 2016-06-21

WCPM Project Descriptions for 2016-2021 CIP General Sanitary Improvements This is an annual sanitary sewer program to improve deteriorated gravity-drained sanitary sewer pipes using either “open trench” digging methods or lining existing sanitary sewers. Each project is evaluated based on site-specific needs in order to determine the most cost effective methods. Wherever possible, lining technologies are used, which reduces construction time as compared with open trench methods. Since no excavation is required, utilities and traffic conflicts are minimized; thereby citizen discomfort and complaints are reduced to a minimum. The locations for this rehabilitation are throughout the City of Denver. This project will line approximately 75,000 feet of liner of various sizes. Benefits/Avoided Losses: The benefit of this program is to extend the life of the city sanitary system through cost-effective methods that minimize the impact to the citizens of Denver. A second benefit is to improve water and groundwater quality by lining existing sanitary systems that have cracks and may be leaking. Page | 38 Revised : 2016-06-21
